    How many calories are you currently eating a day? Do you eat your exercise cals back? Height? Weight?

    I'd say increase your calorie intake a bit, but continue to exercise. I stay between 1100 and 1200 cals a day, so when my weight loss stalls this usually helps. I usually increase to around 1300. Good luck!!

    If your doing the same exercise and workout every day your body has adapted to what your doing. First change up in what your doing. Add interval and weight training. Your routine should change every 6-8 weeks to induce muscle confusion. However the major factor in losing the last 10 - 15 pds is nutrition, nutrition nutrition! Eating too little or too much of the wrong food groups can also slow and hamper progress. Change up on both your workout and nutrition. (Complex carbs, Lean protein and healthy fat)

    agree with Taylorgirl. The last 10-20 lbs is always the most stubborn and progress gets very slow! Calorie cycling can help, which is 3-5 low calorie days followed by 1-2 days of high calorie days. That keeps your body from adapting. And you need to eat very clean, no garbage.
